Townes van Zandt:Breaking even is ending up in Purgatory as far as I can tell. I figure there's heaven, purgatory, hell and the blues. I'm trying to crawl up from the blues, purgatory for me would be... Home Sweet Home!See more »

I was lucky enough to view this film at the Toronto Film Festival. As a
longtime, and pretty rabid Townes Van Zandt fan, I was very impressed
with the film. Director Margaret Brown did a fantastic job. Her film
showed the tragedy, humor and beauty that made up Townes. I had a
chance to talk to her briefly after the screening, and you could tell
that this was really a labor of love. The interviews in this seem like
a who's who of singer/songwriter music, featuring Willie Nelson,
Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Guy Clark and many more. Hopefully it will
find some sort of distribution on DVD. It is the type of film that
deserves to be seen. Anyone who considers themselves a music fan should
take any opportunity they have to see this film.
